Transformation are often quite painful. Whether we're growing emotionally or undergoing a physical

metamorphosis, real change usually demands discomfort, and sometimes even danger. In John M. Chu's

wicked films, the characters literally burst through their own limits.

They sprout wings, become tin or straw, or learn to fly by defying gravity.

Like all the past Wizard of Oz books and films, Wicked is a mirror of its times.

Since the COVID pandemic, conservative movements around the globe have seized

on a new scapegoat, openly trans and gender diverse people. Despite being a tiny fraction

of the population, trans folk have been painted as a massive cultural threat, a convenient

distraction, and a powerful tool for those hungry to seize political power. So what can Wicked teach us about fascism and queer liberation?

Today we're joined by trans-tech visionary Violet Kittieffsky to explore Wicked as an allegory for LGBTQ

Resilience, Trans, and resistance.

After all, that gravity ain't going to defy itself.

Plus, Cynthia Arrivo and Ariana Grande announced they are in a non-demicurious semi-binary relationship.
